With the advent of multiple visual prosthesis devices to treat blindness, the question of how potential patients view such interventions becomes important in order to understand the levels of expectat...
The phenomenology of the blind has provided an age-old, unparalleled means of exploring the enigmatic link between the brain and mind. This paper delves into the unique phenomenological experience of ...
This paper proposes a retinal prosthesis edge detection (RPED) algorithm that can achieve high visual acuity and low power. Retinal prostheses have been used to stimulate retinal tissue by injecting c...
The Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System (Second Sight Medical Products, Sylmar, California) is an epiretinal prosthesis that serves to provide useful vision to people who are affected by retinal degene...
Five patients diagnosed with profound retinal dystrophy who have undergone implantation of retinal prosthesis at Stony Brook University Hospital. Fundoscopy was performed at postoperative month 1 (M1)...
There was no significant change in distance between the optic disc and the surgical handle (length AB) over the two-year span (F = 0.196, p = 0.705). There was a significant change in distance of leng...
Our results demonstrate that there may be postoperative movement of the retinal prosthesis over time, as a statistically significant downward rotation is reported over the 2 years span. It is importan...
This paper presents the design of an electrically small circularly polarized (CP) 3 × 3 mm...
The system is operating in ISM and ultra-wideband (UWB) bands to target high programmability of retina stimulation and recording, respectively. The electrical dimensions, including the ground plane, a...
By loading polyimide encapsulated patch with stubs, dominant TM...
The proposed antenna is fabricated, and the performance, including coupled power from an external antenna, is measured in a custom made eye model including head phantom. A reasonable agreement is obta...
To generate an artificial vision, image perception capability could be improved with implantable UWB communication systems that feature particularly high data-rate and small size....
To quantitatively evaluate visual evoked potentials (VEPs) in prosthetic vision and simulated visual reduction....
Four blind patients implanted with the Argus II retinal prosthesis and seven sighted controls participated. VEPs were recorded with pattern-reversal stimuli (2 cycles of a horizontal square wave grati...
VEPs recorded in Argus II patients displayed a similar shape to normal VEPs when controls viewed the pattern without simulated visual reduction. In sighted controls, adding blur significantly delayed ...
The early visual cortex in retinal prosthesis users remains responsive to retinal input, showing a similar response profile to that of sighted controls. Pattern-reversal VEP offers valuable insights f...
To review the available evidence on the different retinal and visual prostheses for patients with retinitis pigmentosa and new implants for other indications including dry age-related macular degenera...
The PubMed, GoogleScholar, ScienceDirect, and ClinicalTrials databases were the main resources used to conduct the medical literature search. An extensive search was performed to identify relevant art...
Thirteen devices were found to be current and were ordered by stimulation location. Six have active clinical trials. Four have been discontinued, including the Alpha IMS, Alpha AMS, IRIS II, and ARGUS...
This review provides an update of retinal prosthetic devices, both current and discontinued. While some devices have achieved visual perception in animals and/or humans, the main issues impeding the c...
Visual prostheses with both comprehensive visual signal processing capability and energy efficiency are becoming increasingly demanded in the age of intelligent personal healthcare, particularly with ...
Visual prostheses, used to assist in restoring functional vision to the visually impaired, convert captured external images into corresponding electrical stimulation patterns that are stimulated by im...
Blindness is a main threat that affects the daily life activities of any human. Visual prostheses have been introduced to provide artificial vision to the blind with the aim of allowing them to restor...
